Don't these kids out of college make you want to scream?

I'm glad that my school has a good proportion of non-trads. Sometimes, the kids straight out of college bug the heck out of me with their immaturity. Anyone have a good story about one of these kids making you want to slap some sense into them?

Also, it seems that a lot of BigLaw firms seem to prefer students who went to law school immediately after undergrad. I don't know if they consider them more "trainable" or more likely to fit into that type of culture for some reason. What do you guys think about that?

I say we keep the 23yr old women, duct tape thier mouths, and jail the 23yr old men. There's too many damned lawyers anyway.

You're not far off with the skewed sense of reality comment. That is certainly not always the case though. There are many (and most of them young) butt-nugget attorneys (and SA's) who think they are above reproach, but the majority are really cool people. I've had the pleasure of working for law firms for many years, and hopefully my experience will keep me from becoming one of the nuggets.
